Stolab

What is Stolab's History?

Oskar André and Johan Carlsson started the Stolfabriksaktiebolaget in 1907, with the clear business idea of manufacturing spindle chairs made of birch. Over the years, they began to focus on higher quality furniture and initiated several collaborations with various designers such as Carl Malmsten and Yngve Ekström.

In 1981, Gösta Martinsson acquired the Chair Factory, and Stolab was born. In conjunction with the company's 100th anniversary, Stolab introduced ash as a material in its range.

What Does Stolab Do with Waste?

The goal is not to discard any material if there is a chance to use it. What cannot be made into a furniture detail, and the sawdust produced from sawing, drilling, and milling, is used as fuel for the factory's own boiler.
